Ethiopian CEO resigns

Granite Pireci March 24, 2022 17:02

Ethiopia's national airline must look for a new boss. Tewolde GebreMariam has to give up his post for health reasons. Health reasons have forced Tewolde GebreMariam to step down from the top of Ethiopian Airlines. He has been receiving medical care in the United States for six months, the airline announced in a press release. "Because he has to concentrate on his personal health problems, he is unable to continue to lead the airline, a task that requires a closer presence and full attention around the clock," a press release states. The manager's contract was therefore terminated early after he asked the board for early retirement. Under Tewolde GebreMariam, Ethiopian Airlines rose to become the leading airline in Africa. Within ten years, Tewolde developed the airline from 33 to 130 aircraft and increased passenger numbers from three to twelve million.

Amely Mizzi March 24, 2022 13:03

Emirates' sister company FlyDubai will be relocating some routes to Dubai World Central Airport (DWC) from May 9, 2022 to June 22, 2022. The reason for this is that DXB is renovating the northern runway. A total of 34 routes are affected and will be temporarily served from DWC. However, the carrier will offer the destinations Alexandria, Entebbe, Kathmandu, Khartoum and Mashhad from both airports. World Central Airport was originally planned to be the world's largest airport. The plan was to build six runways and have the largest passenger capacity ever. The project has since stalled. Apart from cargo flights, DWC has not yet been able to develop beyond its role as a regional airport or low-cost airline airport.

Sanctions shake Irkut MS-21

Jan Gruber March 24, 2022 09:04

The Russian prestige project Irkut MS-21 is increasingly coming to a standstill due to the trade sanctions imposed by the European Union and the United States of America, among others. The United Aircraft Corporation is no longer able to source Western components. However, these are needed because the MS-21 does not consist entirely of parts produced in Russia. The proportion of Western technology and components is quite high, so that the Russian Minister of Trade, Denis Manturov, had no choice but to admit that the required parts cannot be obtained and that Western suppliers are refusing to deliver them. The government member also had to admit that Western suppliers are also refusing to hand over components that have already been paid for in advance. This is a consequence of the sanctions imposed in response to the Russian Federation's military attack on Ukraine. Even the Russian Ministry of Trade now considers it unlikely that the United Aircraft Corporation will be able to deliver series-produced Irkut MS-2024s from 21 onwards. The project has been a high priority so far, as it is the first newly developed medium-haul jet in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Putin government is pushing for local airlines to rely more on domestically produced aircraft. Outside of Russia, this model is not a best seller. Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary told Aviation.Direct that he would not take the MS-21 even if he was given money for it.
